Fallen Angel (yyh/Hiei)

[Maou]

Chapter 4.
One morning, you go down for breakfast and see the boys except Hiei already there.
"Good morning Kanako."
"Good morning guys." You sit at the table and start eating when all of a suden the house begins shaking and you could hear:
"ONNA!!!!!!!!!!...Give me back my shirt!!!"
"Kanako...you should run. But then again, this isn't new." says Kurama and you run outside with Hiei on your tail. Kurama was right. This wasn't something unusual. You run into the forest and stop at the bottom of a tree.
{I can't understand why he is like that. I only borrowed his shirt. I borrowed again his shirt. But he has so many.}
{I'll rectify that. He had so many.}
{Hey! Who's that? God is that You?}
{No,baka onna.}
{Ah.it's you.}
{I'm the HE who has run out of shirts.}At that moment he appears out of nowhere besides you.
"I didn't know you could read minds."
"Yes but its' very tiering for me. I don't use it quite often."
{I'd better be more careful what I'm thinking about.}
"Let's go home onna!"
"No. I'm not coming."
"What did you say? I don't think you have a choise." He takes you in his arms bride style and you set off home.
"What do you think you're doing? Let me go. I can walk by myself."
"Be quiet! If it were after you, we would get home tomorrow."
"Hmpf!" You really didn't have a choice.
{Why am I not mad because of her? If it had been anyone else, besides Yukina of course, I would have probably killed that person. But I find this situation rather amusing. What has gotten into me?} You finally get home and Kurama tells you he'll go out to buy some food. You offer to go with him. Since you came to Earth, you haven't left the house. All you did was training and running from Hiei. This was an oppoortunity for you to learn something. You knew that Keiko, Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara had to go to "school" to learn, but you didn't know what it was. You had always studied at home. You knew the people here are different from the ones you were used to, but to you, they looked alike.
{I don't understand why they are so different. They don't have 3 heads or 10 eyes or...}
But you were interrupted from your thoughts by Kurama: "The're nothing like you had expected, right?" "Hm...yes."
"Well, you see, they look like us and maybe act like us, but are unaware of the existence of Makai or Reikai. Without spiritual energy or any contact with the other worlds, Reikai decided to keep quiet and protect Ningenkai from the shadow."
"I think I understand. You're the good guys who help protect the humans from the bad guys."
"If you put it that way..."
"Since we're here, you might as well show me some things and places humans frequent."
Kurama takes you first to do the shopping,and afterwards he takes you to a park. Everything was wonderful. It was spring season and the flowers and trees were in blossom. The singing of the birds was marvellous. You had never payed attention to anything like this before. Before, all you could think about was training. But now, when you see children playing together with their parents...

~Flashback~
"Father, I want to play.Let's go out, please!!..."
"Kanako, I have work to do. Besides, playing isn't fit for a princess. You must study and behave in order for one day to become a queen worthy of your Kingdom!"
~End flashback~

A tear falls down from your left eye. Suddenly, you feel a cold drop on your cheek. It's raining. It's like the sky was crying together with you, as if it could feel your pain, your sorrow. Then, Kurama gently takes your hand and tells you:
"We'd better seek shelter from the rain, or you might catch a cold." He takes you to the biggest tree in the park where you sit down. You were out of the rain, at least for now.
"Kanako, can I ask you a question? Why were you crying back there?"
"Well,it's..."
"It's ok if you don't want to tell me. But I don't like seeing you sad. Now let's change the subject. Tell me, which are your favorite flowers?"
"Lilies. The lily is a symbol of chastity and virtue. It is a symbol of life because it is associated with the significance of fertility but it is also a symbol of death, and at one time lilies were placed on the graves of young innocents."
"You're right. Life and death are an antonimic pair but which complete each other. In final instance they become one." he says and gives you a white lily.
"Thank you Kurama." you say and kiss him on the....cheek.
"Hn. When you two are done, we have a mission waiting."
"Oh, Hiei. You're here too." Kurama says and smiles. "Well let's go then." You approve and follow Hiei.
